Shares of Cineworld Group PLC (LON: CINE) broke below horizontal support near 35p to trade over 12% in the red on the week. The price is now on its way to close lower for the third week in a row as the cinema industry takes a battering amid the pandemic and social distancing measures.
The latest hit to Cineworld comes from Disney after the US-based giant decided that the live-action version of the much-anticipated “Mulan” drama will skip most of the world’s movie theaters. Instead, the drama will go directly to the Disney+ streaming service in the U.SCanada, Australia, and some countries in Western Europe.
Interested viewers will be required to pay $29.99 to watch Mulan, with costs to produce a movie that has been reported at $200 million.
